I dunno why keeping differences between races is not being racist. Every problem in the film was collectivist guilt and victimization.
May 03	Seethruskin	3 _25th
Before I looked up who wrote and directed this I thought it felt like a Black-ish episode. A show I was fond of when it first aired, but definitely feels of it’s time, even if that time wasn’t so long ago. Feels like it came out of a bunch of early-mid 2010s Twitter threads about race relations. It’s a very shallow and surface level examination of interracial dating and race relations in general. That being said I am very much in the bag for anything Jonah Hill led as a comedy.

Americans seem to be obsessed about race.

"You People" is a mediocre film that doesn't bring anything new to the table but contains glimpses of what it could have been. While it's always great to see Eddie Murphy back on screen and Jonah Hill playing himself is refreshing, the script and filmmaking could have been more polished and unique. However, the film has some genuinely funny moments and touches on some important social issues.

We enjoyed it, full of the appropriate degree of cringe.
Mar 04	myfavchords	65 _16th
This film starts off well and it seems like it is going to be a good satire however the last half of the movie becomes a formulaic romantic comedy. The cast does a good job but they would have excelled even more with a better script. Overall this film is disappointing.

Just bad - it really feels completely disconnected from reality, has insufferable characters, and totally misses the mark in every way.
Feb 13	PistolPete	53 _14th
The first third had me quite hopeful. Some good laughter to get it going. It unfortunately devolved pretty quickly thereafter. A lot of cringe moments that fell flat quite badly. The frenetic editing cuts during slo-mo scenes were also brutal. Hill & London did have some decent chemistry overall; however, so it wasn't a complete bust. 5.3 for me.

The Jews are ridiculed throughout for their alleged false sense of victimhood, inherited wealth and progressive racism. The African-American family, meanwhile, are portrayed as apprehensive but otherwise solemnly validated despite being disciples of the virulent real-life antisemite Louis Farrakhan. Barris is a very able director, Murphy proves his versatility, and I honestly found the Holocaust ring joke hilarious. Otherwise, cringe-inducingly bigoted.

Good potential; shitty execution. There were some good laughs, but I cut my losses and stopped watching 70 minutes in. The attempted social commentary moments were awkward and cringey, which could be a great emotional device—but they didn't come with real valuable insight, a clear message, or even any character growth at all, so it was just uncomfortable. I'm also just not a big romcom guy. And they did these goofy iMovie-like transitions between scenes that did not work at all.

Every character is insufferable. It should have been two hours shorter.
Feb 05	jimmyp	40 _13th
Eddie Murphy, David Duchovny, and Lauren London are all great. It feels like they want to be there and are giving it their all. Jonah Hill, however, is absolutely terrible. His "comedy" is nothing more than him saying things until one of them sticks. I hate that type of comedy (I am looking at you Paul Feig) and it almost never yields laughs. This thing should have had a script with actual, thought-out jokes.
Feb 05	JPFerguson	40 _12th
Nothing at all original here; it's a combination of 'Meet the Parents' and 'The Week Of'. While it's not as entertaining or poignant as those films, I do appreciate Hill's and Barris' willingness to include offensive jokes in genuine aid of the storyline (something mostly missing from those two other films). Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny as a married couple does make me smile (I'm fond of these two TV juggernauts of the 1990s).
Feb 05	Duder	55 _23rd
The first 2 acts of this would've gotten a 70 out of me but that disaster of a third act just took it down. I love culture clash concepts and this one wasn't awful. But still, that 3rd act, and stupid change of heart scenes just don't cut it.. Oh and what about that camera? Even in car scenes it was moving around without purpose, wtf man?
Feb 04	Obdurate	60 _22nd
This made me laugh some. I like the chemistry between the leads. Murphy was a great presence in this role. But given how heavy the commentary is, I need to focus on that: it shows the extremities of a certain subsection of people in race relations, which was fine, and it's a little more risque than some Hollywood movies. The parents are excruciating to listen to but I think that's the point. I give the attempt some credit because it tries to be deeper, but there are better romcoms.
Feb 04	JanaMarie	9 _73rd
I'm biracial and was raised in a white family. I'm empathetic to the "woke" agenda and I'm also awkward about my blackness/don't usually feel like I can claim it. There's so much very relatable (and hilarious!) content in this movie from both perspectives. It's not meant to teach your insensitive family how to behave, but if you're like me and you give it a shot, it might oddly comfort part of you and make you feel like someone out there knows what it's like to straddle the line.
Feb 01	Mirelurk	64 _35th
I dunno, it made me laugh a few times. You can skip it though. Some really weird story and editing choices do make it feel sitcommy.
Feb 01	cienega	30 _1st
Somehow this movie manages to be overly woke yet full of stereotypes. On top of this, the movie is awkward, unfunny, and boring.
Jan 31	twincinema	10 _4th
Feels like an overstuffed sitcom episode. A promising first half hour becomes a dreary sludge in the back 90 minutes. There's a "blink and you'll miss it" Elliott Gould cameo. It made me say, "wait, was that Elliott Gould?" then rewind it to confirm that, yes, it was Elliott Gould.
Jan 31	mattorama12	73 _71st
There are a lot of big laughs here. It really capitalizes on its shockingly deep cast here. And oh how I've missed a really funny Eddie Murphy. Big recommend from me.
Jan 31	feritdgn	58 _30th
I have to say, I laughed way more than I expected. Was the story predictable and clichéd? Yes. But did I still have too much fun? Absolutely. This is what matters. It was also great to watch Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy together.
Jan 31	aross	30 _27th
Well-known cast and decent trailer pulled me in without checking reviews. It is a made for Netflix movie that gave me more eye rolls than laughs. The basic plot line is fine but the entire two-hours focuses only on race within a tightly cliched rom-com genre.

lol now blacks are racist?
